Nesting
Artist Joanne Hayward began by collecting boab nuts from the local area and painted them with soil and acrylic to create egg like forms and shades. Jo approached people on the street and in their day to day activities and asked their place of origin or where they called home, dedicating each person an 'egg' with their place labelled with a map pin. The eggs are nestled into a nest feathered with driftwood collected from the marsh and wrapped in maps of the various location. In this way people in the community, having travelled a variety of paths, are drawn together, nestled in the one place.
